Chea's Journal.: Deeper Swamps (Frances' Tale).

Deeper Swamps (Frances' Tale).

Deeper Swamps.

went to kobold swamps area, deeper again this time.

this time with my newfound tricks it was easier ... faster work with longsword, shield & a longbow combined with spells did dispatch all i met fairly easily, quickly & efficiently.

i was careless however, so i stepped on a snake ... got poisoned with a weakening poison.

still fight was fairly easy, despite that ... returned safely.

if i wish to challenge kobolds, lizardmen & other critters of the swamps ... i can proceed boldly now ... just have to be careful of the poisonous Stirges & Snakes.

... but in truth, nobody knows for sure what can be met anywhere in Narfell.

(EN) Author's note:

Snake's weakening poison lowered her STR from 14 to 11, it's different from Stirge's poison that lowers CON stat. Snake's poison also fades after rest, Stirge's does not. It's harder do avoid Snake's poisoning however & with enough of 'Strength drains', character cannot run & escape difficult situations if carrying too much of equipment. Carrying too much of weight in narfell is a death trap eventually.

This is a story in fantasy world, not real Religion (or Religious Lesson). It's only inspired by Buddhism, Martial Arts, Beautiful Fine Arts & Wicca/Witchcraft.
feel free to use it as an artistic resource,if You include my email address in credits.

For Real Buddhism,
contact Buddhist Center.

(especially if you are too disillusioned with Computer Games to care for that, and wish to try to find something Meaningful, Truly Magical, Spiritual, perhaps even Real Life Friends & Love instead).

... i hope that Sangha / Other Spiritual Ways won't make new people - not only kids - players/recruiters as i was made.

Is it way to Enlightenment / Other Spiritual Goals to create 'Pyramid of Gamers/Recruiters?'

... i hope NOT.

... perhaps Chea's Journal can be partly an offering for Green Tara Puja ... it's Buddha Karmapa's property, if accepted however.

... perhaps other Buddhism Schools ...
... should benefit as well ...

i hope that fantasy tales i am writing,

with insights,

help also Wicca & Witchcraft,

not only Buddhism.

i think there's too much of Church's conversion attempts in this & other computer games, so i fight for Enlightenment & Magick with my tales & play.

i suffered too long under church's oppresion, so i try to protect our Ways now.

Church still is more beneficial than harmful however, so i'll repay karmic debts as well, as soon as i can.

Oftern it's too fanatical & blind however, and that i oppose.

i hope that kids under our protection,will be better understood by others,thanks to this a tale & other ways as well.

His Holiness Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje.

The Spiritual Leader of the Karma Kagyu School & Lineage of Buddhism.

'The experience of meditation is like getting into a character, like someone who’s forgotten his or her identity. Relying on this method called meditation seems to require the person to get into that character, all the while not realising that that very character is him or herself.'

... i think getting into character in roleplaying games is lesser form of identification, can be dangerous if goes too far & deep ... emotional work can hurt on this way.

Blog author's history with Narfell.

Years ago i played this game much too much. i got in a depressed mood by roleplaying a depressed mage character named Attentus.

i wished to quit, but got insight in a Buddhist Center that every step taken during one's life can be a step on a Way for Enlightenment. i got insight that i should play still, but different way - not for enjoyment, but in a beneficial way.

Now i play for others, writing tales for kids, trying to seed their interrest in Buddhism & Esoterics - in meaningful life & friendships - instead of playing only computer games.

D&D Rules & Spells.

Spells alphabetically.

Spells by classes.

Few spells are not available in Pen and Paper D&D - they are Neverwinter Nights game specific.

In case of Narfell, they are server implementation specific.

There are moments when PnP rules are used, per a DM (Dungeon Master, a Storyteller, a Storyguide, a Narrator, a Judge, etc ...) discretion, including creative use of Spells, not available via implemented game mechanics otherwise.

there's also: 'd20 SRD' a ruleset ... perhaps it's also 'more than a ruleset' as well ...

'd20 SRD' is used in 'Narfell' as 'Narfell Community' & 'Related Communities', or it's parts at least, prefer ... in software implementation, as well as in rules, policies, DM(s) decisions ... etc ...

... about item descriptions & rarity.

mw: masterwork: is also called 'well-made'
/ pl: mistrzowsko wykonany, wysoka jakość /,

fine: +1, slightly enchanted, 'noble'
/ pl: fajny /,

exquisite: +2, quite powerful enchantment.
/ pl: ? /,

+3 is freaking rare in narfell,

/ so far about +5 is narfell maximum, artifacts, relics that are held only for a limited time /.

... most often a mw item is neccessary to create enchanted item, and better mw items allow for better enchantments possibility - there's dice roll that determines if enchantment was success or failure - components, coins, experience and effort wasted.

... occasionaly mw items are better than lesser enchantments.

... art is slightly magical ...
... the subtler art the better ...
